Learning to Rank: From Regression to Search Ranking and Evaluation Methods

Learning to rank reframes search as a machine‑learning problem that optimizes document ordering rather than numeric prediction, using relevance metrics such as NDCG and feature‑based scoring functions, and comparing point‑wise, pair‑wise (RankSVM) and list‑wise (ListNet) approaches while stressing that proper error definition and feature selection matter more than the specific algorithm.
